Members of Coast Guard Sector Mobile were presented with the Coast Guard Foundation Award for the incredible rescue of 40 people in April 2015. A storm hit the Mobile Bay, Ala., area, running a 600-foot chemical tanker aground and impacting 117 sailboats that were participating in a sailing regatta. Chaos ensued, but Sector Mobile quickly coordinated multiple Coast Guard assets and local agencies, initiating over 30 search and rescue cases. Receiving the award is Capt. Joe Snowden, Commander, Sector Mobile (center right), Cmdr. Christopher Cederholm, Sector Response Chief (third from right), Lt.j.g. Philip McNamara (second from right), Petty Officer 1st Class Chadwich Jackson (third from left), and Petty Officer 2nd Class Jason Bullis (second from left).
